Chapter 2 The Blank Canvas: Part 2

As I thought." She glanced at the guy sitting next to her. It was yesterday's guy. 
"Why you're coming here?"
"I was bored," he leans his back against the bench, his foot was both puts on the bench seat while his hand is busy with his smartphone. She leaves him with his position. She holding a brush with red paint on its tip. She staring deeply at the blank canvas in front of her. 
"Still didn't get the idea?" He asked without looking at her. Both of his thumb rapidly moving on his smartphone screen. She not sure the name of the game  but she sure it is one of the trending online games now.
She shook her head. She put back the paintbrush into the cup. She crossed her legs while she cups her face with her palm. Thinking something. She then put on her backpack and get up from her seat. 
"Where are you going?" He asking but his eyes keep on the phone screen as he still playing the game.
"Searching for ideas.." she takes her first step towards the playground near their bench. He wants to follow her but he can't leave the fight. As soon he saw the Victory, he keeps his phone and pursues her step. "Wait for me!"
She raised her head as she looks at a bright green caterpillar on a branch of a shady tree at the side of the playground. She took a picture of it on her phone.
"Didn't you feel it disgusting? I mean, normally girl would not even bear staring or standing near something like it." He asked. She doesn't know when he was catch up and standing behind her. But it seems like he just arrived there as he is still breathless after pursuing her rapid step.
" I disgusted it," She beamed. Her finger then scrolls the phone screen, looking to another picture that she was taken before. "But I didn't hate it,"
"Everything in this world was the arts. We can judge but never hate them," she walking away from the tree, searching for other ideas. He blanks at first but still follows her then. They strolling around the park, capturing the picture of nature in their surrounding. 
"Owh, so cute~" she tries to catch a stray orange kitten which strolling passed them. The kitten has clean and fluffy fur even though it did not belong to anyone. The kitty freaks out and runs away as it saw her hand try to catch it. It's running out from the park to the main road. It stopped hesitantly as it was aware of a car going to crush it.
"Wait!" He tries to stop her but she sprinted as fast as lightning towards the kitten.
"Screeeeeeet!!!!" A shrilly sounds of break suddenly heard by his ear before he heard something get hit by the car. 
__________
She opened her eyes. Where was her? Why her head in bandages? She lying on a bed, but it was not her bedroom. Her eyes wandering around the white room. She stopped as she saw a figure sitting on a chair next to her bed. She can't see his face as he put his head in the bed, maybe he was sleeping. 
She tries to get up from her lying as she feels uncomfortable on her backs. She tries to be as gentle as she could because she doesn't want to wake him up. However, the movement of the blanket makes him wake up from his nap. 
"Thank goodness, finally you're awake ..." said him gladly.
"Am I in the hospital now?" She asked as she smells medicine all over the room. He nodded.
"You were unconscious after the incident at the park three days ago." Replied him. "You're lucky because the owner of the car willingly settled up the bills" 
"Was my parents know about me? " He shooked his head as a sign he doesn't know. "Hospital had contacted your parents but I've not seen any of your relatives come here since the first day"
" As I thought," she glanced to the outside through the window next to her before looking to the white blanket that covers whole over her legs. "Hey, I don't know your name yet. Mine is Edora."
" Just called me Chase" replied him
"What? Cheese?"
"Hey!" He shouting. She was laughing gladly as she could teasing someone. He was mad at first but then a smile appears on his face.
"I'm sorry, but all your paint stuff was at my house. I brought them home since I don't know where is your house."
"Nah, it's okay." She thanked him for keeping the stuff with him. 
She was looking outside the window. She staring the shady tree, let down its leaves as it swaying because of the breeze that evening. She closed her eyes, let the wind slightly blew her wavy dark brown hair. 
"She just beautiful." That was the thought in his mind as his eyes staring towards her. " She must already have a boyfriend, I guess.."
"Cheese?"
He awakes from his daydreaming. "W-what? Are you asking something?"
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked with a curious face 
His face turns red. "No-no! I was just remembered by my girlfriend... I wonder if she can be as beautiful as you are..."
Her eyebrows meet. " Was it me or you that get hit by the car?"
"Huh?" He blurred.
"How can you say I'm beautiful with this ugly bandage on my forehead? Also with all these plasters on my face?" She points her finger to her whole face. 
He smiled. "But you still look beautiful.."
"Weirdo..."
"Well..."
